Aah The Mail crossword. I am doing it too. The answer is Neartic...But the �1500 is mine!!!!!

[hopalong]

the answer is ANARETIC and it's MY �1500

[bernardo]

Did Maude mean Nearctic?

I see that hopalong has supplied the wrong answer to the Mail's Crossword [check your Collins dictionary] so the prizemoney has to go to bernardo. You were very close Maude!

[RosyNothing]

Oh dear typing too fast and too late (about 2.30 in the morning!)... of couse the answer is nearctic... which is on my prize winning entry.xxx

[John472309]

I have visions of everyone frantically filling in the final answer and posting off their 'winning' entry. Since it's the luck of the draw - Good Luck everyone, especially Maude and RosyNothing!!.........John

As with Rosey, my typing fingers went their own way. Of course I meant Nearctic. Thanks Bernardo and John. Its back into the garden for me (ooooer).
